    About this ebook

    Meet Max, explosive escapologist and master magician! He can free himself from the tightest of chains and contort himself into the tiniest of spaces. When the top secret Department for Extraordinary Activity discovers that an evil computer game character has escaped from the virtual world and is intent on causing chaos, they know the time has come for Max's first mission.

    There are dangerous monsters to fight, and a perilous plot to foil: does Max have the special skills needed to save the day?

      I read this to my 9 year old son (as English is his 2nd language) and we both really enjoyed it.This book's story line is sort of magicians meet James Bond. It is fast paced and has cliffhanger chapter endings forcing you to keep reading on. Plus lots of illustrations to help visualise what is happening. The main character, Max, has magician parents and is a trained escapologist himself. He is assigned to go to into the virtual world to try and stop a rogue computer character that keeps breaking out into the real world and causing havoc. It's lost of fun.My son is a big fan of computer games, so the fact that lots that he knew were mentioned meant he could engage better. We will definitely be reading more of these books.

      Entertaining silliness for 7-10 year olds about a boy who goes into a video game to save our world.
